D3Energy

Florida has the ponds. D3Energy has the only statewide lease to develop floating solar on all of them. No new land needed.

Florida DOT leases potentially all its stormwater ponds for floating solar development Floating solar contractor D3Energy has signed a master lease with the Florida Dept. of Transportation (FDOT) to serve as the exclusive developer of

3 drinking water reservoirs. 2 states. Floating solar on the same water their customers drink:
The Village of Monroeville, Ohio - 6MW.
Del-Co Water in Delaware, Ohio - 1.5MW. Operating since 2024.
Mountain Regional Water in Park City, Utah - 600kW. Operating since 2024.

Different water bodies, different climates, different communities. Drinking Water Week is wrapping up. Cheers to the operators behind the tap 💧

We've got a new project up in Lima, Ohio 💧 A 2 MW floating solar array going in on the city's drinking water reservoir. When it's finished this summer, it'll power Lima's water treatment plant and save the city about $10 million over its lifetime.

Ohio's been one of our favorite places to work. Floating solar means clean power on water the city already manages. No farmland needed.

The Guardian came out to Lima this weekend to write about the project! Full article: https://buff.ly/S0mTGUJ

Every spring, the reservoirs in your community fill up. What if that water could do more than sit there?

A lot of the water bodies that work well for floating solar are the ones your local utility already manages. They fill up every year, get maintained year-round, and serve your community every day.

Floating solar isn’t a new construction project. It’s a new use for water your community already manages — clean energy from a surface that’s just sitting there.
